Sprenger says certain details in the video led her to believe it may be Kayla in what appears to be a bathroom in a basement.

"The clothing could be a big possibility," the mother said. "We do believe she was wearing that type of shirt, we know she had jeans."

She added, "I thought it looked a lot like her. I pray to God it's not."

Antigo Police agree the girl in the video looks like Kayla.

"We'll do whatever we can to find out who's in there and identify them," Police Chief Eric Roller said. "Sometimes that's hard on the web because of wherever this stuff may originate from [but] we're going to do everything we can to get to the bottom of it."

The video, originally uploaded to a YouTube channel called "Hi Walter, It's Me Patrick," was removed from YouTube, but has since been re-uploaded after the video went viral.

An Imgur user analyzed the video after it resurfaced and encouraged police to investigate for a possible connection to Kayla's kidnapping.

Some viewers believe the video may be a hoax due to the man's behavior, but police believe it could be real and have launched the investigation.
